.Back to Torres to see Déborah and Humberto for a couple of nights before wandering our way inland through the hilly section.
Taking a back road we attempted to find a large waterfall, we ended up taking a mountain biking scenic route which was very nice, at one stage of about 5 km turning from gravel road to dirt track to neat wee off road section ordering some extra skills from me.

P1210331 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrBack at Torres was like arriving home, the coolest beach place in Brasil for us and somewhere I reckon I could live easy enough.
We had a good catch in the net for fishing so we had another crack at it with the rods, this time was …well …just as well we Chinese dumplings lined up and didn’t need to catch them first.
Good times again with food, drinks, portugringlish, its called living.
Final good byes and some small tears we headed off, Rod Do Sul (Road To The Sun) ….and it was, a great day and nice temps as we took on elevation to the inland, a cool breeze just enough to take away the heat and some ominous clouds looming I put my wet jacket on …turns out mum nature was just fucking with me and it came out hot and still ….arriving in Caixas Do Sul I couldn't wait to get the jacket off and I was getting wet underneath.
Not much to photograph on the way except my jacket stop and some flowers
P1210343 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrWe found Dudas and Elles easy enough, amigos of Humbertos, they had offered to put up with us for a coulpa days which was cool, Duda took us out for a small lunch and local tour in the car.
The next day a ride was planned in the afternoon, including a boat (barge) ride, taking in some local backroads and view points as well as a small waterfall.
Coolas bridge, many in this region

P1210394 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrGot a fear of spiders .... don't come here, this one was small and about the size of your hand, although not venomous they do look daunting
IMG_3849 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrOnya Duda really enjoyed the cruise around and exactly what we wanted to do with this part of our trip.
The evening arrived as did his amigo Mauricio … and he speaks English which is great.
A plan was formulated to go away for their weekend in some places with Maurico and his wife, they too have a F8 … very popular bikes here.
Caxia Do Sul ... more to come
